poor service - overpriced
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/27/04
Atmosphere lacking - too brightly lit. The tables are too close together, literally 1.5 ft. apart. Absolutely no privacy. Had to listen to conversations on both sides of us the entire dinner. Ordered the Halibut that came undercooked and not hot enough for my taste. Granted, others may enjoy it this way. However, I asked if they could please microwave the dish 1-2 minutes to finish the fish and to heat up the dish. It took at least 7-10 minutes to have my plate returned. By this time my wife was nearly finished with her dish. Also, not sure how they recooked the dish, but it came back as a bowl of mush - all the ingredients were melted together. Never got an apology or a "sorry your dish wasn't cooked enough or hot". Also, the owner came over to push the wine shop she has and saw our bread basket was empty. She asked if we wanted more bread and then never brought it. The wine was delicious, but at $9-10 a glass, no real value. Overall, paid $95 for a salad and a bowl of mush - lousy service, and a very uncomfortable environment. Should have taken the advise I was given and driven the 15 mins to Tre Vigne in St. Helena. Lastly, a pet peeve of mine, we were given our check and were never asked "how was everything". Although I should have, I never complained to the owner - but, rather, thought I share my experience with others so theat they won't have the regrets I did.
